New Sporran just finished

**Whiteraven** · 26th November 05, 10:32 AM

Thought that I would post some pics of the sporran I just finnished yesterday. It took me about 6hrs. of hand stitching ( except for the ribbing around the flap, the wife graciouselly did that on her sewing machine ) that time included the designing of the pattern.

The sporran is made out of full grain Moose hide, the trinity knot was burned into the flap using a soldering iron ( I really must get a wood burner), on the inside I installed a handy dandy knife pocket.

I like it. It should make for a nice casual sporran, and should stay very quiet. Which is a problem I have with my semi formal. It makes to much noise, not a good thing when out hunting with a longbow, or even just hiking.

Anyways here are the pics, the first one is of the area I live in ( I allways like to see others areas so here's mine ) The other pics are of the sporran.

Oh yah the button is made out of an old Whitetail deer antler that I had laying around.

So let me know what you all think.

OKay, you asked so here's my opinion.

#1 You look much way too at home in those mountains with that kilt!

#2 You look much younger whilst inside the house.

#3 Where did you buy that sporran as I would like to get one?

Actually I like it's look better than my puchased sporran.

It has a nice outdoor- rugged apperance to it.
It has a truly made to perform a task look, with out looking unfinshed.
More "manly man" looking than some of the "stuff" sold as sporrans.

You said you did the trinity knot with a soldering iron? Freehand? Damn, you do good work!
Must be nice to have some artistic talent.
